Bang on it, pry with 2 flatheads on opposite sides. No bolts holding it on.

Get the drum off first. And download the shop manual that's in the sticky at the top of this forum :1

take you hammer and smoke the face of the drum on the edge


seriously, thats what u do. As a mechanic not just a internet mechanic. u have to hit them hard if there realy stuck.

heavier hammer and give it hell, the drum will pop forward then u just slide it off

iv done brakes before but never had this much trouble..well iv slamed on it for about an hour total and it only moved a little thats why i asked if their were any bolts or something maybe still attached ...i guess i'll get out the sledge and smash at it
